BHE Compression Services, a newly formed Berkshire Hathaway
Energy business, will offer natural gas compression services
focused on large horsepower with the patent pending technology
known as CleanMachine™. CleanMachine™ technology was developed to
eliminate or capture raw methane emissions and minimize combustion
emissions. The technology ensures the company’s fleet has the
lowest total compressor package emissions, with targeted methane
intensity rates of less than 0.2%. With this performance, BHE
Compression Services will become the industry leader in responsibly
sourced natural gas compression services.
Industry veterans Michael Robbins and Peter Strezo, co-founders
of TCB Energy Services, will serve in key leadership roles at BHE
Compression Services and will work at the company’s headquarters in
Houston, Texas. “We are excited to partner with Berkshire Hathaway
Energy to build a new, environmentally sustainable compression
company,” said Robbins, president and CEO of BHE Compression
Services. “The company’s long-term focus of investing profits back
into its people and businesses creates a unique opportunity to
build lasting strategies, culture and relationships well into the
future.”
“It is an exciting time for BHE Compression Services, and we are
committed to building a business that is focused on customer
service, employee commitment, environmental respect, regulatory
integrity, operational excellence and financial strength,” said
Strezo, vice president, technology and environmental. “Being part
of Berkshire Hathaway Energy expands access to knowledge,
resources, suppliers and strategic partners in the areas of methane
emissions reduction technologies, engineering expertise in the
energy industry, cybersecurity, and pipeline operations and
maintenance.”
Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s formation of the new company and
investment in CleanMachine™ technology are a natural continuation
of the company’s commitment to using natural resources wisely and
to reducing emissions at their source. The technology will be an
important asset for BHE Pipeline Group, a Berkshire Hathaway Energy
business that owns and operates the largest interstate natural gas
pipeline system in the U.S.
“I am excited to collaborate with Mike and Pete on the launch of
BHE Compression Services at a time when the industry places
paramount importance not only on safe and reliable service, but
also on environmentally sustainable business practices,” said Mark
Hewett, president and CEO of BHE Pipeline Group. BHE Pipeline Group
is an industry leader in methane emissions reduction programs as
one of the first 14 members of ONE Future, a founding partner in
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Natural Gas STAR methane
challenge program and a partner in the EPA’s Natural Gas STAR
program since 1994.
